With near excellent seeing, I was able to reach the limit of my 5-inch NP127 Light Cup. Was to glad to capture Olympus Mons again (easier this time around) and the clouds in the Tharsis region.

Enjoy,

Wow, great contrast and detail! That extra inch of aperture (and extra quality) makes quite a difference over my 4". grin
